3-Bedroom Cottage in Elterwater Reviews

John-paul
Found this little gem of a place and it was the ideal place and location for me and my partner to do all the things we wanted around the lakes in the time we stayed, will definitely be trying to book this lovely little cottage again.
Geraldine
3-Bedroom Cottage in Elterwater was a lovely quaint cottage, great location just 5 minutes walk from the centre of Ambleside. Really good parking facilities for one car. We had a great long weekend, plenty of room for 4 adults, the bunk beds are a great size. Only downside was that the dishwasher wasnt working, dont know if its connected to the water pressure issue or not?
Georgina
Just had an amazing weekend with my family. Can't fault the cottage at all, it has everything you need. Nice comfortable beds, lovely hot shower, only a 5 to 10 minutes walk into the town. Would highly recommend the cottage.
Claire
Lovely little cottage on the outskirts of Ambleside. Great views from out the front of the buildings. Well furnished with comfy beds and fully kitted kitchen. Owners have provided information books and even a local board game. Note it is a old property which means steep staircase and tricky doorways upstairs. Not suitable for less mobile.
Veronica
Lovely little cottage in a great location. Nice and clean and well decorated. Beds are comfortable with nice linen and good towels. Two comfy sofas to relax in at the end of the day. You are less than 5 mins walk to the centre with lots of restaurants but up a nice quiet road on a small hill so beautiful views and very peaceful. There is easy parking too. Would definitely recommend. My only thing if being picky would an extra toilet roll would have been useful.
Maisie
Such a gorgeous cottage! Amazing views and great location! We had a wonderful time. It was perfect for our stay.
Lovely cottage, great location. Only a short walk into Ambleside.
Deborah
We had a lovely comfortable stay in Fell view. The location was excellent for some beautiful walks and local pubs and restaurants. The cottage was very cosy, clean and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again such a beautiful area .
Andrew
A great location right next to central Ambleside for anyone wanting to explore the area without using their car, while also granting privacy and peace and quiet from the town centre.
Olivia
Thank you very much for such a lovely stay at 3-Bedroom Cottage in Elterwater. The little cottage was perfect for myself and my partner. It had everything we needed and the kitchen was well equipped. We loved the little touches like the local products, the little selection of teacoffeesweets biscuits, as well as lots of walking maps. The cottage was super clean, cosy and homely. It was a very quiet area and a very short walk to the shops. The private parking was so handy and not far away from the cottage. The only thing that could be improved is the bed, as it was squeaky. We would definitely stay here again!
We spent 3 nights at 3-Bedroom Cottage in Elterwater me, my husband and our 9 year old son. The location was fantastic, just minutes from shops and some nice pubs in Ambleside. The cottage was cosy, clean and well equipped. The shower pressure was a little annoying and would have worn thin if wed stayed longer I think but we knew before we arrived from the listing. Overall, a great little cottage!
Lovely cottage, very comfortable and clean. It was in a lovely quiet area despite being close to town. We enjoyed our stay.
Really nice cottage and well appointed. Eventually worked out how to use the heating as instructions werent clear enough but used fire instead so wasnt a problem. Bathroom is it a bit on the small side but useable. Overall a comfortable property and was in an ideal location for all we wanted to do in the area. Ambleside centre was really close so were able to have a couple of car free days.
Kathleen
Loved this cosy little cottage . Everything we needed was there, just wish the outside where table and two chairs were had been a bit more weed ifree as on the photographs it looked much tidier and weed free, but other than that we thoroughly enjoyed our few days there .
Spent the weekend at 3-Bedroom Cottage in Elterwater, a comfortable well equipped cottage with a homely feel. An ideal location with a short walk to Lake Windermere or into town and all Ambleside has to offer. 5 stars, will be looking to stay again! Can also recommend Force Cafe & Terrace, delicious food and a picture postcard view!
Noelle
We enjoyed our stay at Fell view. The decor was really nice and outdoor seating which was a bonus as we had some good weather. The stairs would be an issue for anyone with a disability.
Directions good. Parking convenient. Quiet location, but only a short walk from all Ambleside has to offer. The cottage name is misleading as there is no view, tucked away as it is among other houses. The top of the stairs is dangerous. I slept with the landing light on and a pillow across the bedroom door to remind me to exit the room carefully! A nice little house. Expensive for what it is.
Maybe an extra handrail on other side of stairs. Otherwise good location and a cosy place to stay.
Beautiful little cottage, ideal for 2 people. Easy 5 minute walk into town, cafes, bars and restaurants. Everything you could possibly need in the kitchen area although we did eat out each day. Would definitely stay here again. Only downfall, it could do with a mirror in second bedroom, maybe on chest of drawers, for hair drying. The full length mirror in main bedroom is great, but unfortunately there wasn't a plug socket close enough to use the hairdryer. Also, if you are on the large side, the toilet space between the shower cubicle and the wall was slightly tight fine for me but my partner who has really broad shoulders, struggled and had to sit at an angle. That said, we both enjoyed our stay and this wouldn't stop us from staying
Louise
The cottage was delightful and had everything we needed. It was in a great location with valued parking. The interior decor was to a lovely standard. We will visit again hopefully.
Great place to stay, ideally placed, cozy and comfortable.
Lovely little cottage. Very well equipped kitchen only lacking a teapot. Bathroom is very small but nicely fitted.
